"making" them is easy, just wind some wire around some kind of form, like a
piece of pvc pipe. figuring out how much wire, how many turns, and the
diameter is the hard part. I would use one of the antenna modeling programs
to figure that out given your current design and picking a point where you
think you can insert them. from that you could get a value of inductance
needed, then pick a likely form size and use one of the inductance
calculators on line to figure out how many turns of wire it would take.

Dave, I have just put a Cowebb for 20 through to 10m. Its just 80 and 40
I'm interested for the time being. Is it hard to make a pair of inductors
and how would I go about making a pair?

Thanks

I have up a half size G5RV and want to add 80 metres it. I don't have
the space for a full size.

What is best to go for a 80m inductor kit or a pair of 80m traps?

Thanks


well, 'traps' are usually used to cut off an antenna that is too long for
the band in question, so that is probably not what you want. simple
inductors are used to make an antenna look longer so that is what you
would want... but expect it to affect tuning on all bands, not just add
80m capability.
